ETS is a template system written with PHP that enables you to transform a set of data to any type
of document.
For example, ETS can transform a list of product descriptions retrieved from a database to a HTML
page. It can also construct SQL statements, ASCII data, XML documents...
ETS provides 4 functions to match a set of data with templates:
sprintt which returns the built template as a string, printt which prints it out. sprintts and printts which use a string instead of a file name. ETS supplies:
array management, various conditional elements, access to any level in the data tree from any level in the template, data formatting, size reducing, integrated debug messages. ETS works with 2 elements: the data tree and templates. The data tree contains every data that
will be available. Templates define the way the data tree will be presented. You can compare it
to a XML document transformed with a XSLT template: it’s exactly the same concept.
ETS can manage recursive templates, allows a complete reshuffle of the template with exactly
the same data tree, is extremely valuable when working with database because of the implicit
use of templates...
... It’s a powerful tool that will help you efficiently to build documents.
ExampleTemplate file
{mask:main} <h1>Simple list</h1> <table> {mask:row} <tr bgcolor="{const:color}"><td>{const:color} for {id}</td></tr> {set:_last} <tr><td>{_rank} element{if: {_rank} > 1}s{/} in list</td></tr> {/} {/} </table> {/} {mask:color}{set:_odd}red{/}{set:_even}blue{/}{/} PHP code
<?php include 'ets.php'; function getrows() { for ($i = 0; $i < 10; ++$i) { $data[$i]->id = $i; } return $data; } $page->row = getrows(); printt($page, 'test.tpl'); ?> Output
